Batch Change the Display Resolution of Multiple Elements (Surface Smoothness)

Batch Change the Display Resolution of Multiple Elements (Surface Smoothness)

This section explains how to change the display resolution of elements in a 3D scene.
All the examples shown below use the [Cylinder] from the [Shapes] catalog.
As you move to the right, the cylinders appear more roughed.
This is due to differences in the Surface Smoothness values set for each part.


Changing the [Surface Smoothness] setting adjusts the appearance of part geometry—making it either more roughed or smoother.
  1. A higher value results in a smoother appearance but increases file size and may impact performance.
  2. A lower value creates a rougher appearance but keeps the file size smaller and improves performance.
Setup method
Please adjust the value according to your specific needs.

Steps to Batch Change [Surface Smoothness] of Parts in the Scene

[1] Select all parts in the scene at the part level.

[2] In the Scene Browser, click on the [Properties] sheet.


[3] Change the value for [Surface Smoothness].


[4] Press the [Enter] key on your keyboard to apply the change.

Please refer to the video below.
